This haughty treatment of a divine omen is a justification for their deaths.
Yet the suitors ignore the omen, inviting their eventual destruction. Halitherses comments on the eagle attack after Telemakhos condemns the suitors (463-464) he correctly interests it to mean that if the suitors keep feeding off Odysseuss possessions they will be destroyed. Omens are brief prophecies intimately connected to the action at hand, which must be interpreted in terms of that action. Whether a character accepts or denies the gods prophecies tells the reader something about the character himself. Moreover, prophecies can be interpreted not only on the plot device level, but also on the level of characterization. Though conceptually these forms are hard to distinguish, they are clearly separate in the Odyssey. Prophecies are seen in the forms of omens, signs, strict prediction of the future, divine condemnation, and divine instruction. In The Odyssey, prophecy in its myriad forms affects nearly every aspect of the epic. Something this ever-present bears further examination. Prophecy plays an important role in the whole of Greek folklore.
Demeter loses Persephone periodically every year because her daughter ate Hades pomegranates. This type of prophesy can blind even the gods themselves Chronos was fated to be defeated and his throne stolen by his son. Oedipus was exiled and condemned by his own words, after he slew his sire and wed his mother. Achilles was prophesied to die gloriously in battle if he chose his lifes way as a warrior. Moreover, prophecy can be negative as well as positive. Could Priam have survived in the Achaean camp if not at the gods instruction (200-201)?Ĭould the Argos have run the gauntlet of the Prowling Rocks if not for the gods advice of using a sacrificial bird (349). This prophecy is usually critical to the plot line, and also to the well being of the main characters. Yet, a common and often essential portion of a heroic epic is the heros consultation with an oracle or divinity. One relives the heroes struggles against innumerable odds, their battles against magical monsters, and the gods periodic intervention in mortal affairs.
